ＯＧ１２－６，再请教

robon

In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the
Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for
cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so
that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus
was growing on the walls.
注解中有一处不明：
(A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which
raised its humidity to such levels so that salt
from the stone was crystallizing
(B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,
thereby raising its humidity to such levels that
salt from the stone would crystallize
(C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them to levels
such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by
tourists raising the humidity within them to levels
so high as to make the salt from the stone
crystallize
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them to such levels that salt
from the stone was crystallizing

OG上面说，CD选项的Them指代Tourists，而E选项的Them不存在这个可能。
请问ＮＮ们怎样来判断代词具体指代哪个？我一直糊涂中。多谢！！！

同问啊！我也不懂~查了半天！

代词不是就近指代，代词指代对象的顺序为

1 主从句中，先指代主语的核心词，再指代宾语或表语的核心词，最后指代修饰语中的名词

2 并列句中，有2个或3个句子并列，第二个或第三个句子中的代词应优先指代第一句中主句的名词

                                                                                                   以上出自白勇《GMAT语法全解》

就是说CD中的中心词均为tourists,所以them指它，而E中的中心词为moisture,所以不存在这个可能。那么此时them是指moisture吗？但事实上E中的them是指chambers,即主句的中心词。那么c为什么就不能指chambers?

我承认我晕了。。。

呃？答案是？？？

我觉得E里面那个them是指的moisture...

我也认为它说的那个them的错误不对~应为最后的正确选项中并没有改正这个错误，只能说是选优的而不是选全对的了，毕竟CD两项还有其他的硬伤
